When Digital Spy asked what's coming up for Lauren, Jacqueline replied: "I really wish I could tell you – [there's] so much! We film six to eight weeks in advance, and where I'm at now, you wouldn't believe it.

"So much has happened that I'm not allowed to talk about. But it's so good and it's so exciting. From this point onwards, my God, it doesn't stop. It does not stop.

Steven's paranoia has only increased further in recent weeks, as Lauren is getting increasingly closer to her new boss Josh.

Asked which guy Lauren is most suited to, Jacqueline replied: "Neither. It's never a good start to start a relationship when you're still in one. For that reason, maybe with Josh it would be 'another time, another place'. But where she is right now, she's with Steven and he's looking after her baby at home.

"Lauren thinks she's well suited to Josh right now and Steven is this burden and not the life that she wants. She doesn't want to be a Beale and stuck in the Beale house."
